OP asked about Open Source not about privacy.

MicroG minimises connections to google servers, here you can read what addresses it still connects to and why: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connections

Most of the originalish content on lemmy are linux related stuff, memes and porn. The latter 2 are mostly image/video based, so you don't search for that very frequently and easily. I can see that in the future it will become a very relevant source of info in linux admin and user circles.

I go back to r*ddit sometimes for some local content which is non existent on lemmy. I see that the tech related subs are mostly dead there, or at least only shadows of their former selfs. E.g. go to r/linux, sort by top all time. In the first 100 results you will barely find anything posted after the exodus.

Why can't we build things which are not deliberately hostile to someone? Why we should make someone's life even more miserable? It's a bench. It's purpose should be to give some rest for ANY people, regardless of financial status or weight.

To see it in context the opposite of hostile architecture is called universal design.

You can see railways worldwide on OpenRailwayMap

If you switch to "Max speeds" map style, you can see the allowed maximum speed on each track.

According to tradition Apostle Bartholomew was skinned alive. In churches you can see his statues holding a skinning knife and his own skin.

Sometimes it's subtle like in the Basilica of Latheran: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bartholomaeus_San_Giovanni_in_Laterano_2006-09-07.jpg

Sometimes it's horrific like this one in Milan: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:San_Bartolomeo_Scorticato.jpg

But it's just the date line, so hours and minutes should go on, but the next day will be Groundhog day again. Like it happened when Kiribati moved to the other side of the date line: Friday, 30 December 1994, was followed by Sunday, 1 January 1995, Date line shouldn't affect hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line#Eastern_Kiribati_(1994)

We need amputatorbot on lemmy

The biggest time difference on land is between China and Afghanistan, 3 and a half hours, but there is no border crossing point there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakhjir_Pass

AFAIK The biggest time difference where you can cross is between Tajikistan and China, you would have to set your clock by 3 hours. There is one border crossing there Kulma Pass

Kiribati switched to the other side of the date line in 1994, so there are 3 different days at the same time on the Globe for an hour:

• Kiritimati, Kiribati, UTC+14: Sunday, 00:30
• London, UK, UTC+1: Saturday, 11:30
• Midway Island, US, UTC-11: Friday, 23:30

So be careful when you ask what day it is

I found it! I can reproduce the issue, it's not random, we can open a bug report. It happens if you focus another window with the mouse, than even though you can focus the window with touch, the button won't work there.

The button works this way:

1. Click on the header of the Console window with mouse
2. Touching the menu button works on the Console window.
3. Touching on any other menu buttons on different windows doesn't work.

The button doesn't work this way:

1. Click to any other window or just on the empty desktop with mouse
2. You can focus the window with touch, but the button doesn't work.

So in other words, it works only, if you focused the window with mouse previously. I can't see anything related to this in the logs. Please try to reproduce.

I'm still on Gnome 44, I would wait until I get Gnome 45, to see if maybe they fixed this.

That's not a new plane, that's the double fuselage version of Pipistrel Taurus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipistrel_Taurus

Pipistrel Taurus is a glider, first flown in 2004. There is an added benefit of using a glider for testing a new engine: gliders have a much better L/D ratio, so less power needed for longer flights, and if there is a malfunction they can land safely while gliding.

There is the Gartner Hype Curve. We just left the Peak of Inflated Expectations, and going down to the Trough of Disillusionment. It happens with most new technologies.
